...about expired slide film, anybody have any thoughts on that? The only
experience I have is a roll of Kodachrome 64, expired by about 3 - 6
months, it seems to have worked perfectly, the exposures seem right and so
does the color balance, and grain. Then again, I've never used Kodachrome
besides that one time...
Diego:
I took along fifteen rolls of expired Provia (one year past its expiry
date) on my recent trip to Colorado/New Mexico. It had been stored in
refrigeration all that time. Seems to have worked perfectly. I also used
a couple of rolls of expired K64. Again, no issues.
I recently posted the URL to some of those pictures, taken at White Sands
National Monument near Alamogordo, New Mexico. Mind you, *I* always use
slide film for a visual record and/or a scanning source, so if there are
any colour shifts, I can correct 'em. That's what God invented Photoshop
for. ;-)
Here's the URL in case you want to inspect the pics (you'll get a list of
the photos and some other things [.PDFs] -- and they have been manipulated
slightly in Photoshop; I set the white point in each of the three channels
on some of 'em, so there will be some colour variances):
